Forcing Your Goals Versus Empowering Your Dreams

Many people understand the concept of setting goals in life to empower themselves. What most people don’t know is that goals require a constant stream of force behind them to keep them alive. In other words, you need to push them all the time to make them come true.What do I mean by force and push? To force something is to compel through pressure or necessity. To push a goal is to apply enough force to the goal to keep it fresh and empowered.

Get Organized Today!

We all know how much easier it is to work when we’re organized, but having the motivation to get organized is a little hard for many to come by. This is because disorganization leads to feelings of being overwhelmed, and when we’re overwhelmed, it is hard to think clearly on any one task let alone change the way we are used to doing things in the name of organization.

It’s a vicious cycle really. If you could get organized, the feelings of being overwhelmed would fade away and your productivity would go up. But you cannot take the time to get organized if you are completely overwhelmed and behind in production. Hence the vicious cycle.

How To Survive A Serious Life Crisis

This is my story. I’m sharing it with you hoping it will help someone through a desperate crisis in their life. I know you can come through anything because I did it.

For many years I lived a mostly happy life in a small rural town with a wonderful family, living way beyond my means. I have a financial background and should have known the consequences of my actions; I ignored everything I knew. Marital problems cropped up but I ignored them thinking they would eventually go away, especially if I poured enough money into the relationship. Things just got worse and everyone should know you can’t buy love!

In The Day Of Trouble

Psalms 50: 15 Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I shall rescue you, and you will honor me.

Days of trouble will come. Life is hard at times. Regardless of how spiritual you become there will be days when victory seems so far away. God never promised that the cross would not be heavy. Some days it might seem almost impossible to keep going. Call upon the Lord in your day of trouble and He will hear.

Examining Happiness

“What is happiness?” a young child asked. For a moment I was a bit taken aback. Then I thought, ‘Happiness’ is a really complicated sensory thing - a bit like an onion. As you peel away the outer layers, according to your experience, you expose the deeper, more intimate layers, one by one, until you get to the core - inner peace and contentment, which is the essence of happiness.

Happiness has been described as beatitude, blessedness, bliss, cheerfulness, child-like innocent contentment, delight, ecstasy, felicity, being light-hearted, feeling carefree, good-humoured, fun-loving, being joyful, rapturous, merriment, tranquillity, or enjoying inner peace. I know that inner peace is a necessary prerequisite of happiness.
